The Clean Comfort AM11 Series Right Angle Media Air Cleaners are a more efficient and convenient way to clean the air in your home compared to standard furnace filters, which may need to be replaced monthly. AM Series media air cleaners help to remove household dust, lint and other particulates passing through the return air ducts of your central heating and cooling system. And these air cleaners can be upgraded to a Clean Comfort High Efficiency Electronic Air Cleaner, which is capable of removing airborne contaminants as small as 0.06 micron (1/424,000 of an inch).
Clean Comfort® brand AM Series Air Cleaners trap particles on the filter media, removing these pollutants from your home’s air. Electrostatically-charged fibers enhance the filter effectiveness of the air cleaners. Trapped particles are permanently removed from the home when the loaded filter is replaced with a new filter. For even better filtration, consider the AM14 Air Cleaners which can remove particles as small as 0.3 microns with 85% efficiency. Optional carbon filters which help reduce unpleasant odors (such as those from cooking, smoking or painting) are available for some models.
Inside a Clean Comfort brand AM Series Air Cleaner is a MERV 11 or MERV 14 media filter with electrostatically charged fibers that remove particles and impurities as small as 0.3 micron from the air in your home. Easily installed in the system duct work, it provides additional protection from indoor air contaminants throughout your entire home compared to standard air filters. Because the AM Series Air Cleaners’ deep-pleated media filter contains more surface area than standard furnace filters*, they capture more particles with little airflow restriction so they last longer between filter changes and put less stress on the heating and cooling system fan. Maintenance of the AM Series Media Air Cleaner is easy. It is recommended that you replace the media filter at least once a year, depending on the specifics of your home (amount of traffic, number of occupants and household pets, etc.) Check with your HVAC professional for a recommendation.
MERV stands for Minimum Efficiency Reporting Value, which is a performance standard for rating a filter’s ability to remove particles. The higher the MERV rating, the greater the particle removal. It was developed by the American Society of Heating, Refrigerating and Air Conditioning Engineers (ASHRAE). The AM11 Series will remove 3-10 micron particles with 85.4 - 91.1% efficiency depending upon the model. The AM14 Series will remove -10 micron particles with 99% efficiency for all models.

Important Notes On Choosing The Correct Filter:
- First - Check, what is the maximum CFM the system can produce
- Second - Choose, the filter size that matches or exceeds the system's maximum CFM capacity.
- Remember - Filter must be equal to or greater than duct work
- Remember - CFM allowed by filter must be equal to or greater than the capacity of system
- Remember - As the filter collects contaminants the pressure drop increases. This media filter is not recommended where the pressure drop is critical.
Transitions:
- In most cases a transition will need to be made for the application of the filter
- When the air duct does not fit the air cleaner opening a gradual transition is recommended to reduce air turbulence
- DO NOT reduce duct work to fit a smaller air cleaner
